Happy Birthday Dadda

It's my dad's birthday today, so I've been forced under duress to make a masculine card (why oh why can't men like pink and glitter).  Ok, I'll admit that it's still a cute image, but there's no pink, no flowers, no glitter, no bows, no gems.  I've used a metallic looking backing paper to matt the layers, and also created a bit of interest with some embossing.

Aww Annette, that is perfect! I got a little choked up with this one, as it would have been my daddy's 70th birthday on the 1st of September had he lived. So it was lovely to see your celebration of your daddy. Hope you have a fab day celebrating him. Hugs, Wends xxx
